A Local Gift Guide for the Art Lover:
Shop Holiday Gifts at Create Gallery and Frames

There’s something special about a gift that has been thoughtfully chosen- one that was created by hand, discovered locally, and selected because it spoke to you. Whether you’re shopping for a friend, a coworker, a partner, or someone who “already has everything,” there’s nothing quite like gifting something made by an artist.

At Create Gallery and Frames in Garden City, we believe that art can be beautiful, functional, and personal. That’s exactly why we created the Gallery of Gifts, a limited three-week event filled with curated pieces you won’t find in big box stores or online retailers. The event runs November 28-December 13, and we’re already two weeks in... so now is the perfect time to visit.

We have gifts starting at just $5, along with artist-made pieces and fine art selections at a range of price points. There truly is something for every budget, whether you’re looking for a quick stocking stuffer or a statement gift they’ll never forget.

And once an item is gone, it’s gone- every piece is handmade or created in small quantities.

1. Fine Art Prints and Framed Pieces

Original artwork is always a conversation starter and sometimes the perfect centerpiece gift. We have framed and unframed pieces of artwork from multiple artists in a wide range of styles and sizes. Whether you’re looking for bold color, nature-inspired pieces, or fine art originals, there’s something for every taste.

We also offer beautifully premade frames- an easy, stylish gift for someone who loves decorating or has a photo or keepsake they’d love displayed. Have you been eyeing the custom framing but it's a little out of budget? These premade frames are for you!

If you’ve had your eye on a piece hanging in the gallery, we likely have a print version available so you can enjoy the artwork you love at a more accessible price point. We also carry prints of pieces that aren’t currently on the gallery walls, including work by artists not currently exhibiting and additional selections from your favorite creators.

Perfect for: The home décor lover, the newlywed couple, the art collector, or anyone who appreciates a personal touch.

2. Handmade Ornaments & Holiday Décor

Our ornament collection is artist-designed, handmade, and beautifully crafted. Many are hand-painted, while others use unexpected materials like feathers, natural elements, and more. These are the small, special pieces people remember year after year.

Perfect for: Stocking stuffers, holiday exchanges, gift-givers who want something small and memorable, and the person who loves decorating their tree in meaningful pieces.

3. Ceramics

We now have unique ceramic pieces created by a local artist. Plates, sculptural pieces and décor, these gifts bring craftsmanship and function together. Some are meant to be used, while others displayed, but all enjoyed.

Perfect for: The host, the homebody, the coffee lover, and the person who appreciates both beauty and practicality.

4. Wearable Art Styles

Art doesn’t just live on the wall. Art you can wear always feels special. At Gallery of Gifts, you’ll find:

• Fine Jewelry

• Wood-Burned Hats

• Hand-Painted Silk Scarves

These pieces make memorable, personal gifts that suit a wide range of styles and ages.

Perfect for: The fashion-forward friend, teens, parents, spouses, and anyone who loves something original.

5. Artist Greeting Cards & Mini Art

These are customer favorites every year because they’re not just cards- they’re tiny works of art. They’re affordable, frame-able, giftable, come with envelopes ready-to-ship, and created by professional artists and photographers. We have a wide selection of greeting cards to choose from.

Perfect for: Teachers, coworkers, neighbors, minimalist gift-givers, or when you need something small yet meaningful.

6. Creative Gift Sets & Small Treasures

If you’re looking for something thoughtful and unique, we have plenty of smaller artist-made pieces, including:

• Tumblers

• Mugs

• Coasters

• Bookmarks

• Journals

• Coloring Packs

• Stationery

• Ornaments

• Small Originals

These are the practical, beautiful items that make everyday moments a little more special.

Perfect for: Stocking stuffers, Secret Santa, kids, creative friends, gift exchanges, and the person who loves handmade details.
